Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian believes his Longhorns are preparing to face "the best team in college football" when they take on Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 10.

"I need Longhorn Nation to show out in Arlington," Sarkisian said in a Friday Zoom call with reporters, per ESPN's Dave Wilson. "We're going to need everything we've got to try to win this game. Clearly, we're massive underdogs. Nobody's going to give us a shot."

Sarkisian continued: "This is the best team in college football, and we're going to have to make sure that we put our best forward to give ourselves a chance to win the game.
